The character is using a blade as a brake or an anchor to stop their movement. This is done by ramming the blade into a wall or the floor, depending on direction of the character's movement. Bonus points if the movement is not stopped abruptly and long sparkly "skid marks" occur; the weapon may carve a long gash in the surface until its wielder comes to a halt. This is more difficult than it looks for being such a common trope. In real life, a blade big and heavy enough to serve as a brake would require a bigger and heavier wielder, and it's their momentum that matters. Planting the sword is easy, but it's equally easy to lose grip of the sword or even damage/break it from the sudden stop unless both wielder and weapon have fantastic strength and durability, respectively. It's theoretically Truth in Television, but not nearly as easy as Rule of Cool would have you to believe. A variation is when the character slows their fall by stabbing their blade into a tall banner (or, on a sailing ship, the sail). The "stab the sail" version shows up in a bunch of old pirate movies and was busted by the MythBusters. If the weapon is later used as a perch, to swing back up into battle, or to climb off of, it's a Stepping-Stone Sword. Not to be confused with the manga Broken Blade, or with literally breaking a sword. |

Ranma ½: A very strange example occurs when Ranma finally reveals himself in male form to his mother. They're both falling off a cliff into water, and he embeds Nodoka's still-sheathed katana into the cliffside to land foot-first on the handle. When Ranma thinks he can keep his transformation secret, Nodoka bows down in gratitude, causing the blade to unsheathe, dropping them into water that turns Ranma into a girl. | |

Bleach loves this trope. A few times characters have done a blade break IN MID-AIR. (Justified, since Soul Reapers and Hollows are spirits who usually run on air.) Kenpachi stabs his zanpakutou into a wall once after Ichigo knocks him back. Ichigo does a long one in his fight with Ulquiorra just after the latter unleashes his Resurreccion, stabbing the roof they're fighting on while he repairs his mask. It doesn't seem to slow him down, though, and he eventually just pulls his sword back out of the roof to block the next attack. |

MythBusters tested the pirate movie version of this, where one uses a blade to slide down a sail. Myth busted. Specifically, too sharp a knife cuts too well to slow a person down, and no matter how sharp the knife was, hitting the seams in the sail caused the knife to jump out of the sail no matter how prepared the holder was. Also, as one of the historians pointed out, the guy who spent weeks making the sail would murder you when he found out. | |

RWBY: Ruby tends to stab her scythe into the ground to stop herself, since her gun's recoil is powerful enough to send her flying. Ren uses the blades from his weapon to stop a fall by spiraling down a tree trunk. In his Volume 3 fight with Winter, Qrow anchors his BFS to mitigate being pushed back several feet away by her attacks, wrecking a fair part of the courtyard. |

In one of many amusing examples of just how alike the two brothers really are, when Sesshoumaru first experiences the power of the Wind Tunnel, he reacts in exactly the same way (and since he's holding Tessaiga at the time, he even uses the same sword). | |

Thor: Ragnarok: When Thor gets thrown around by Hulk in the arena, he slams one of his swords into the ground to cease his momentum. During the escape from Sakaar, Valkyrie jumps from spaceship to spaceship to incapacitate them and plants her sword in one of them to prevent falling off. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Monks are implied to do this with their fists (said fists are strong enough to pierce an iron golem's body at that point, though) in their ability to stop any fall with a wall at level 20 (20 being the normal level cap). The first edition said "as long as they are close enough to touch", implying they would grab the wall to slow their fall to non-lethal speeds. The cheapest infinite use magic items in core does this without the need for the wall. | |

Mortal Kombat: When Jarek returns in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, it's revealed he survived being dropped off a cliff by Jax by using his axe to slow the fall. Kenshi does this in Mortal Kombat X after being knocked out of a military personnel carrier in the first chapter. Lacking other options, he does this against the very aircraft he's hanging on for dear life. |

X-Men Film Series: X-Men: Wolverine averts a fall off the Statue of Liberty by hooking one of the points of the statue's crown, then spinning around it to land on top. The point falls off only after he's done. X-Men Origins: Wolverine has the title hero do this to make a hard turn on a motorcycle. Interestingly, it's one of the rare times his claws don't just go clean through. X-Men: Apocalypse: Psylocke narrowly survives what would have been a fatal fall by using her energy sword to slide down a building. It still takes her out of the fight, though, allowing Mystique to impersonate her. |

Berserk: In the Eclipse, when Guts falls from the side of a tower covered in living faces, he stabs his dagger into the tower so that he slices through a long swathe of faces on the way down, eventually coming to a stop from the friction. He then uses the dagger as a climbing pick to drag himself back up, causing much bleeding and wailing from the faces as he does so. When Guts fights the Kushan wizard Daiba in the harbor of Vritannis, Daiba uses a water spout to throw him into the air, to such a height that even the water below won't save him from the fall. Schierke manages to snap him out of his armor's mindless berserk mode just in time for an Indy Ploy: he uses the incredibly broad blade of his BFS to steer his fall by air resistance, targeting the mast of a ship. He uses the sword to tear through every bit of mast, yard, and sail he encounters on the way down, coming to a very rough yet non-fatal landing on the deck. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Azula stabs her hairpin into the side of a cliff to arrest her fall in "The Southern Raiders" Sokka tries to do this too using his sword, but this demonstrates why an Absurdly Sharp Blade should not be used for such. Piandao does this when he and Master Pakku come Back for the Finale, using his sword to maneuver on a wave of ice Pakku creates while freeing Ba Sing Se. |

To try and reestablish contact with Alpha, Akira jumps out the window, uses the Lost Technology katana he got from a friend to slow his fall, and does a Wall Run back up at his opponent using using his Powered Armor's Sticky Shoes and Bullet Time, before the scene cuts as they clash. Akira wakes up after falling unconscious, his opponent having been too scared of him Playing Possum thinking What the Hell Are You? to finish him. | |

Used by the Meta in Red vs. Blue: Revelation to make his way back up to the top of an ice sheet after the portion he was standing on got blown apart and started falling into the abyss below. To elaborate: the Meta saw his gun falling in the open air along with him, lunged off the falling ice block to grab the weapon, and stabbed the pointy end into the main ice sheet before falling again. Grif later uses a similar technique (though unseen) when the Meta pulls him over the edge in a Taking You with Me maneuver. | |

In Zack Snyder's Justice League, Steppenwolf uses his axe on the walls of the tunnels during the Battle beneath Gotham harbour to slow down his fall.

In Kill la Kill: When Ryuko Matoi falls through a trapdoor, she tries to slow her fall by sticking her blade into the wall, but it doesn't work and she hits the bottom hard anyway. When the stairs Ryuko and Mako are climbing suddenly flatten out, Ryuko grabs Mako with one arm and sticks her blade into the floor. It works. Sanageyama somehow manages this with a bamboo sword and a concrete wall. |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: In "Princess Prom", Glimmer gives Adora a large hairpin to wear in her ponytail as part of her prom outfit. This ends up being useful when an attack leads to her falling from a ledge, and she uses the pin to stop herself from falling further. | |

In the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode "Avast Ye Eds", Jonny 2X4 slashes through the Kanker sister's bed-sheet sail with Plank, a piece of 2x4. All this does it punch a big hole in it and gives them another reason for him to Walk the Plank. Literally. | |

Stabbing the sail (referred to in-game as "Ride the Sail") is one of the tricks that the Rogers swordsman school teaches in 7th Sea. | |

At one point in the Henry Stickmin Series, Henry and Ellie jump out of the Toppat space station just before launch, and Ellie stabs a knife into the side of it to slow and stop their fall. Unfortunately, this leaves them hanging off the side of the space station seconds before launch, and they end up getting carried into space where they suffocate. | |

In Shakugan no Shana, Yuji falls through a ragged hole in the floor on top of a building. Shana dives after him, grabs his hand, and halts their fall by thrusting her blade into a steel girder on the way down. | |

In GunZ, this is an available move for swords and daggers. It's one of the most basic ways to scale a wall or save yourself from falling into a Bottomless Pit if you haven't mastered a more advanced technique. | |

Asuna of Negima! Magister Negi Magi does this after the wings Haruna gave her expire a tad earlier than she expected. Note that her sword is big enough that she can simply stand on the blade rather than just hang from the hilt. | |

Into the Grizzly Maze: When the bear attacks Rowan and Kaley in Kaley's tent, it starts dragging the entire tent away with them inside. Rowan draws his hunting knife and digs it into the ground to anchor himself, so the bear drags the tent off him. | |

Code Lyoko: In the first episode, "TeddyGozilla", Odd jumps down to catch a falling Aelita, and then slows them both by using his claws on the side of a cliff in the Desert sector. Ulrich does a Blade Brake in episode "Bad Connection", by thrusting his katana into a cliff of the Mountain Sector — and then catching Yumi — before they'd fall in the Digital Sea. |
